how to fix a crooked navel piercing?
I got my belly button piercing done six months ago. It’s not fully healed yet, and I can tell it will take a few more months, but it is getting there. I’m not sure if I would call it crooked, but here’s my dilemma: my ring keeps turning to the right side, almost like it’s rolling over. I try to turn it back to the center so the jewelry looks straight. When I do this, it stays in place for a bit, but later on, I check again and find it flipped back to the right side. Is there any way to prevent this? When I look in the mirror, it still appears centered when it’s on the right side, but I can tell from my perspective that it’s not straight. This bothers me. I do not want to get it repierced, so please do not suggest that. Thanks!

It is because of the shape of your stomach. This is normal. Only people this probably doesn't happen to are super flat stomachs. Don't worry, look for lighter materials, like plastic, which won't move as much. You could get one at the same angle on the other side. It is likely not completly straight because it has taken so long to heal, there is a lot of scar tissue formed under the skin.
It is yours and unique, no one is even noticing, act like you want it like that!
Ahh that's called 'docking.' It's very common with navel piercings. I know it sounds silly, but try using medical tape and taping it to the opposite side, and leaving it that way while you sleep, etc. It has been like that for 6 months so it basically is healed, and may not ever change. But you can try ! Also, if you get jewelry that has something pretty heavy hanging off the bottom (a very dangly belly ring) It may weigh down the bottom to the center so it won't roll over as much !
I'm having a similar problem, my tattoo artist didnt use a clamp. my plan is to let it heal fully, take it out and re pierce where I need the whole to be with some of my piercing box supplies. go to a tattoo shop and see what they can do to correct it

Ahahaha. I have the same problem. But it goes to my left. I think as long as no one else notices you shouldn't worry.(:
